Did anything make you cry today?

Listening to Glenn McGrath talking about yesterday at the Pink Test and the foundation he set up with his wife before she died.
 
I caught the ending of “Eternity”, a film I’ve been watching a bit at time between work and other matters. My god, what an ending. Proper tears.
 
I don't cry like I used to. Maybe it has something to do with age or just the day to day experience of watching a fascist dictator in control of this country. On one hand I'm glad I'm not so easily given to crying as I used to be. OTOH, I have the sense that shit is fixing to get real and tears don't do shit.
 
A very brief moment of sadness but then I took a deep breath and moved on.
I remember watching on Oprah a woman who had suffered third degree burns to 90% of her body leaving her significantly scarred. Oprah asked her how she coped emotionally. The woman said she allowed herself 5 mins every morning to cry and that was it. She would take a deep breath and get on with her day. Sometimes that's just what you need to do.

My therapist tells me to have the mini breakdowns or I’ll have a major one at the worst moment.

When my mom started her chemo/radiation treatment I had a major sob fest in the McDonald’s drive thru 🤦🏻‍♀️ so now I’m doing the mini breakdowns.

Yeah, the major breakdowns are not good. Mini breakdowns are much easier to recover from.
 
The old darkness keeps trying to creep back. Today I had a wonderful experience video chatting with my online (non-lit) crush. 1:26 of just mostly hanging out and enjoying each other. A little romantic, a little sexy. The kind of fun time I enjoy really hit me positively. then after playing, "you hang up, no, you hang up" for a bit, I finally hung up.

Happiest I've been in a few years. But then I started crying a bit, the depressive part of me tried not to let me trust my own happiness. It didn't win--I confess, looking at the pic of her in a lacy black bra she sent the other day helped un-depress me right well.
